US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Boys 2023 - 7th Grade Fall 2017/Summer 2018

Let it go. You keep bringing up the same crap. Nobody from the Outlaws 2023 Select team comes on this site and ever claims to be better or worse than another team. They don't make claims they will be going to Denver and they don't try to belittle other clubs. They are trying to get better and this weekend was a good step in that direction. They went 0-3 but all games were hard fought and each of the opposing coaches would back that up.

Great step forward. New coaching and management needed... quick.

Is Express using kids from the grade above like they are in every other grade?? Seems to be how they are operating this year.

2022 playing on 2023
2023 playing on 2024
2024 playing on 2025

What exactly do you mean? This is an empty statement not backed by anything.

Inside lacrosse just released U13 world rankings. Anyone surprised Sweetlax is on there when they don't have a World Series team yet. They going off of prior 2023 teams?

This year is different. They just threw names at a wall and whatever year you landed on was the team you were assaigned to.Hope that helps. Any other stupid questions don'y hesitate to ask.

Interesting, #2 was knocked off by an unranked team on Saturday at their own tournament, as usual pre-season rankings don't mean SH*%! Same can be said for the WSYL, major money grab, that means nothing a year after families spend thousands of dollars to fly out to Denver to pound their chests!

Someone is angry....We all know the rankings are BS....If they were legit S2S would be on that list. It was a good game and congrats to S2S!... I would imagine that your son doesn't play for either team and probably wont be going to Denver...No need to criticize others. The teams that won the WSYL the last three years have pretty much proven to be the best at their grade level and had to get by some very good talent in order to win.... Enjoy the fall and try and let go of some of that animosity. Its not healthy

If the WSYL means nothing, than what lacrosse tournament for 12 years does mean something?

None!!

Please don’t tell me you or anybody else Is that gullible to believe this ranking stuff. 75% of the teams have never And never will play against each other. Not to knock legacy, but 14, really? Please, what do these pollsters do, check scores every week. Get injury reports and advance scouting. If you believe in this ranking stuff call 911 immediately, you’ve just overdosed on the koolaid. this list almost reads how which club runs the most tournaments.

S2S parent seems a bit upset the team doesn't qualify due to age restrictions.

Great talent here on LI. No need to fly 5 hours and spend $4,000 for a family for a weekend.

Let it go? But it's OK for you to come on here and get your message across. We know; all your parents love the coach and organization, we only want to get better, we are reloaded, blah, blah, blah! Give me a break!

Smartest post I've read all year.

Was it the smartest post because you answered your own one ??

Igloo loses twice this weekend to Dukes National 9-3 and 6-5. Any thoughts?

No it was the smartest because he said what a lot of people are thinking. 2/3 of the teams there can barley compete in the B bracket on LI, so this is just a tournament between the top 6 and 4 of them from LI and the eventual champion from our area. Why go out there? To make memories and chest bump?

I see now. You are the sort of person that must have the last word or, when someone tells a story, you have to top it. Have your day as you are either NOT a parent on one of the better teams or, if you are, your son is not getting significant playing time so inciting others against what was probably your former club is the only way you can get excitement through lacrosse.

If you follow the ridiculous rankings that came out they would drop
Out of top 25 because they lost twice to an unranked team. Just shows you what a joke that is.

I watched the Dukes/Igloo semi-final game - best game of the tourney. Igloo was impressive with their ball movement and adjusted their game plan from Saturday to Sunday. Both teams looked sharp for fall ball.

Two great games, played by two very good, well coached teams. I'm sure they are looking forward to playing each other again.

You sound like that delusional Outlaw guy again. Can't BOTC get rid of you?

Duke Nationals are the best team in grade not in age. Team won't qualify for WSYL.

We're paying the money to get away from you! Actually it's a bargain.

That's pretty funny......

My understanding is the Denver trip is a great event. It is really well organized and is a great experience. My son's team won't qualify but he really wants to go and I think it would be really fun.

The joke is your inability to read and comprehend 2 short paragraphs of disclaimers. Just might be the reason you had to hold your son back.

Guys you all know if you had the chance to attend WSYL with your son we would all take it in a second regardless of cost. I don't think anyone on here would pass up that opportunity or that experience.

This event is not going anywhere. In fact, it's going to grow. The people behind this know how to get things done. Plus they have corporate sponsors and TV. Is it a lot money, yes. But not a money grab. why? The feedback from people I know that went said it's incredible. I suspect that clubs will soon have separate tryouts for a WSYL U13 team, forget doing that is another revenue stream opportunity. Winning this or being on TV is very good for the club's respective brand. Plus that U based team can go play in the new NXT event as well.

Mam, I think you are one of those rich wives whose husband works his butt off while you go shopping at the Miracle Mile. You make me puke.

Yes because the two short paragraphs tell us how the rankings are made up, who makes them and criteria used to rank . Maybe the reason why you got left back so many times. Thanks for your valued input.

It's not a great day to be an Outlaw. Shhhh keep the secret. Otherwise we'll hear from PB on here.[/quote]

Awesome comeback!

And there it is - a microcosm of why so many in this country are saddled with a load of debt and have no real savings - YOU are representative of the problem!

Right, just like the waste of time "Warrior Games" from last summer. $1,000 for some really nice gear and 2 days of beating up on other LI kids who didn't make their team but were asked to fill the other teams that couldn't get enough kids. Have fun lining up with all the other lemmings....

We did Warrior Games and had an awesome time. We’ll probably go to Denver as a family and have a great time there too. Guess it’s what you make of it. Try not to be such a negative nelly. Life’s too short, enjoy it!

The unranked team is a NATIONAL TEAM comprised of players that don't live 100 miles from home operations of the club. WSYL expressly forbid it. Like saying that the American League All Stars is a better team than the New [lacrosse] Mets.

We went to the WSYL last year. Phenomenal event. Kids had a blast turned it into family vacation. Colorado is beautiful in the summer, awesome swag etc. We have been to a ton of tournaments on the circuit and there is nothing that comes even close.

My experience is that the Naysers fall into the following categories:

1. From Maryland and since all the clubs are re-classed they don't qualify.
2. Have an agenda vested into a local tourney that competes with the WSYL such as Young Guns in Maryland same, weekend.
3. Are just a negative person and the world just sucks .

Shore 2 Shore is a national team? Since when?

No animosity, just saying these rankings don't mean anything. For the record, my son plays for S2S.

Please don't leave out my kid was held back and is to old to qualify with his team. So I will throw stones at great lacrosse concept -an age appropriate tournament.. the concept- play, compete have fun with boys your own age. Thank God some one is trying to get it right!!!
